     The software system  use to reduce the size of the attached picture was Microsoft Digital Pro  9.  I would like to know if the size it has been reduced to is suitable for  members who are using a telphone modum.

    I can't comment on the dial-up issues, but that's the pefect size if you're trying to show any amount of detail.  Anything less and the details are little more than grainy pixels.  Nice pic!

I'm sure it's fine. I guess it all comes down to  how much of a net loon's time you can use before he wants to hunt you down and  beat you. Here is a link to a download time calculator it will allow you  calcuklate how long it would take someone to download a file. It's not the best  one but it'll work.

I'm on a slooooooow  dial-up.  There are days that two of the three baboons they have  typing the code are on strike for more kibble.  All that aside I find that  e-mails under 100kb are not usually a problem.  

  

 My advice would be if you want  to send more pictures send them in individual E-Mails and give them easily  recognized unique subject lines.  e.g. my plane p1, my pane p2. my plane  p3, etc.  That way if the individuals on the group feel the first picture  is something they want to see than they can download the others at their  leisure.

For the record. Most of my photos, meant for web consumption, aren’t more than 75k and about 8X10 by 72dpi with a little jpeg compression. I suggest saving all photos to 72dpi and whatever size you want. 72 dpi is monitor resolution. Unless someone wants to zoom in, any larger than that can’t be seen on a computer screen.

Hello Bob:

     That pic is 1600 x 1200  pixels.  The largest I send out are 800 x 600.  800 x 600 is a common  screen viewing size.  This size pic fills a screen with a full view with no  scroll bars.  They average around 200 kb in size and take about 30 to 40  seconds to download with dial-up.  I take my pics in large sizes, I do a  "save-as" to make another copy, then "resize" the copy in 800 x 600 for  transmission, by doing the save-as and making the copy, I still retain the huge  original in case someone wants the "detail".  I can send that off list and  not bother those without interest in that subject.

     I sell on ebay occasionally, for  those sales, I use 300 & 400 pixel wide photos.  They are usualy  completely adequate to get most points across. Oh course, if I get a request for  "more detail", I have my original huge shot to send.  I am attaching a 800  x 600 shot of making ZA channel on the TAPCO brake.  It's 106 kb in  size.  For comparison, I am also sending the same shot in 300 and 400  pixel widths.  I tested this message to myself before sending, it took my  dial-up two minutes to send out, but when it came back from the server, it took  54 seconds.  Again, 300 to 400 pixel wide photos get most points across,  800 x 600 is not objectional and fills most screens.

     Now, for all those that will  immediately email me to say no-one uses 800 x 600 resolution any more, that's  partly true, but a lot of , uh, let's say "veterans", that won't go get new  glasses, (you know who you are), still use that size so they can actually see  things on the screen.

  

 Best Regards,

Tom & Bren,

      Thanks for the  response, it was just what I was looking for.  Just a little human interest  item, the paint job on that aircraft cost the owner a little over  $8,000.00.  I am going to paint mine red/white my self for the cost of the  paint, primer, sandpaper and a lot of work and praying since I am not a  professional painter.  I think I can do it with the best stuf money can buy  for about $500.00 just for the materials.  Good luck with whatever you are  building.

 Bob, 

         You  can build your own fresh air supply; see:

 http://www.geocities.com/snjdrvr/air_supply.html

 At the very least, get the best mask  you can... Check with an 

 auto paint store and tell them you need a  unit for 2 part paint...

 I know of three people who have damaged  their lungs by not doing so.........

True there are more high res  screens coming into use but most of the people who use them are heavy into  graphics any how and will be able to change their resolution at the drop of a  hat.
